Is anyone who's banned rechecking their disks?
I've just rechecked those 3 games out of interest and all 3 verify perfectly when checked from disc, as they should, so nothing has changed in the abgx360 database. If the ISO verified and the burn does not, then it's probably down to a bad burn or deterioration of the media (the latter being highly doubtful after such a short time though) causing data corruption.
I would imagine that a 360 DVD drive that's on the way out would report similar issues though, or even an original disc that's badly scratched, so I would be highly sceptical over MS using this as criteria for a ban. Even if your theory is valid, there is nothing special about those 3 games in particular because they all check out for me and some people that haven't played any of those games have been banned, so it would apply to any burned game.

Only one "high ranking" member said that. Homesick said that it could take days, months, or it may never happen. He wasn't wrong and in fact, his was the best answer. Only PS2Menace out and out said it will NEVER happen, but no offence to him or anyone else, but the member rankings are based on the number of posts you make, not how much you know. Who here is always right about everything anyway? Nobody. You're being picky just for the sake of it.

Instead of going back and forth about this how can we take out the last update so we can install to the hard drive again. And for the record I never played a game early or played one before abgx cleared it. ||We all dont play the same games so maybe M$ planted a game that would flag them on the torrent sites. Who knows but if anyone can tell me how to delete the last update that would be great.

Was wondering if TVersity would be blocked. What a bunch of crap. I guess if I ever get banned I will have to take out the old Xbox 1 or use the Wii with USB HDD.

You can't. For all we know the ability to disable installs has been in the firmware since NXE was released as this is the first post-NXE ban wave (console ban wave) and pre-NXE you couldn't install games anyway, so even if you could roll the firmware back, you'd probably be shit out of luck.

Could you not roll back and then re-update with a memory stick?

The free60.org homebrew guys probably have the most experience with rolling back updates. I am assuming it would take a JTAG flash of the motherboard.
If I were looking on info for how to roll back updates, the homebrew guys would be the first ones I would be asking.

Yes, Tversity works on my banned 360. It also plays movies fine from an external hard drive.

I'm not being picky at all. I did a Google search on "unflashable lite-on drive" or something to that extent prior to reading 360lifer's post (I was thinking of buying a new console because my DVD drive is dying but someone told me the new Lite-Ons couldn't be flashed, so I checked it out). I happened to come upon a page linked to this forum about the very same subject, only a year+ earlier. After seeing the "all knowing" old posters make some mistakes, I thought it would be relevant based on what 360lifer said about new posters not having any cred. Also, in that thread you have L-Burna (an all powerful Senior Member) agreeing with PS2Menace.

LOL, I've been modding consoles for five years now. I used to run a little business modding consoles and selling burned games. The only help I need on here is to sporadically check on how many retards are getting banned, or when a new wave is being introduced. I see 4th grade English class was a little too much for you, eh?

LMAO, I modded PS2's and Xbox's locally and sold PS2 and Xbox games online for two years. When I turned 18, I stopped doing it. I have no respect for you at all. I have no idea who you are, you try to act like because you post more you are better than everyone else, and to top it all off, your grammar usage screams 13 year old immature kid.

So you were performing highly illegal operations as a minor, good for you! Just because you modded a few PS2's for your teenage friends doesn't mean you are an xbox 360 expert.
Now, can we get back to the topic at hand?
